Other than Arnie all p*ss poor.Why didn't Antonio start?Why didn't we change to a 4-4-2 at half time?Why did we sign Evra?

I thought Declan Rice was the best player today. I know he made 1 mistake, but, remember he's not a centre back and was played out of position.

Why have we suddenly got loads of classless fans (aka spurs fans). We all know Gold has almost no input/involvement in the operations of the club. Protest with class for f*** sake. That is just embarassing.

How does that video suggest we have 'loads of classless fans'? Slag off the blokes who went too far and did that all you like but don't have a go at such a large proportion of our fans who had nothing to do with it. Posts like this divide the fans far more than the actions of those in the video, as stupid as they were.

Sadly can see only losses against, grafting, physical sides with a plan, Burnley, Stoke, 3 centre backs injured and we let Fonte leave, instead of staying the last few games with us, likewise selling Ayew to a relegation rival who conspires with brother to punish and humiliate us, and does so while they 'rock' and we roll over, relegation looms gentlemen, prepare yourselves, sadly the March has come 2 years too late

Moyes made the point before the game that he was concerned because he felt the team lacked sufficient preparation for the match. And it showed. This was largely due to not having undersoil heating at the training ground and no alternative. Swansea had the same problem, however trained the week at their stadium. For obvious reasons we did not have that option however, I find it incredible (incompetent even) that we had not planned for this eventuality by investing further in our training facilities knowing full well this would happen and no doubt will happen again. The lack of foresight is mind blowing and, personally, I am more aggrieved about this than our abject performance.

I'd be interested to see what our possession was in the first half yesterday, I can say too much about the 2nd load of pony because we left after their penalty. The amount of times we kept passing it across the back line form player to player and eventually back to Adrian for him to attempt an upfield punt to either Big Boy Chica or nobody in particular was ridiculous. That team didn't really have a clue what to do with the ball unlike Swansea who had a plan, mainly pass to a team mate and attack our defence. I think most of our defensive problems stem from the fact that our midfield is weak, constantly overrun, if Noble has a bad game that' it, the team is knackered.

At the start of both halves they seem about as ready for battle as a blind man in a desert. They don't even look organised at set pieces anymore, something we used to be half decent at. Do they know what they're supposed to be doing?

CNR, we have been like this for years though, hasn't just happened in the last two seasons or so...... something somewhere is not right. Is it the training and fitness, is it the management, is it the players over the years have come to West Ham to pick up a wage packet for doing fk all, I don't know the answers....

He must have gone to the hospital for a scan or something as he got out of a car about 5.15pm in his kit and went to join the team to get showered and fly back with the team. He was walking fine, no crutches looked a bit groggy but that was it.

So every winter now we’ll have the same problem. A mixture of gross incompetence and not giving a **** from those running the club.
